Re: Epic Jarhead 1911 Dude
He corrected me last night.
He carries a '43 and the holstered gun is a '44.
SIR, YES, SIR!

Re: Epic Jarhead 1911 Dude
He must be a lefty...reverse M7 shoulder holster. Never seen one. I am an avid WWI and WWII collector and have an M5 shoulder holster dated 1943. My 1911A1 Remington Rand is 1944. Nice rig he's got there.
